Miss M Hearts Ice Skating

We took the kids ice skating over the Holiday break for the first time with my parents. Miss M was practically in heaven. She loved every minute of it and we just about had to pry her little bod off the ice to leave afterwards. She was able to skate fairly steady with some assistance by the end! Robby on the other hand did NOT like ice skating one bit. I guess that is why under three is FREE for open skate. The poor kid could barely walk in the skates and walked like he was drunk with them on :) All he wanted to do was take off the skates and play by the video arcades.

My in-laws even showed up to watch their beloved grandchildren learn how to ice skate. When Robby [quickly] decided he was finished skating, my father-in-law followed him around as he explored the skating arena.

I have to admit I had just as much fun as Maddie, and this little outing reminded how much I do like to ice skate and ski. It is so fun to be able to experience things like this with my Maddie! Grandma and Maddie

Eli started to get fussy part way through our Ice Skating experience, but once Nona bundled him up in the stroller and handed over the pacifier he was pretty content to just sit and look around!
